Jun-15-07  Resignation Trap: I especially like the finish to this game. If 35...Rxd7 36.cxd7 Qb8 37.dxe8=Q+ Qxe8 38.Rc8! winning everything.

Black was a talented student of music and theater at the time. He entered politics in the late 1980's. On March 11, 1990, Landsbergis headed the Parliamentary session during which the restoration of Lithuanian independence from the USSR was declared. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vytaut... .

Jun-25-08  whiteshark: <33...g6> offered more resistance, e.g. <34.exf7+ Kg7 35.Qe6 Rf8 36.Rc4 Nh6>

though still hopeless after <37.Rxb4 Rfxf7 38.Qd5 >

Mar-14-15  fispok: A strong central finish. That early pushed pawn not only cramped black's development, but it survived to the end of the game, playing a critical role; excellent foresight.
